Must admit, I ordered a couple of hampers just for the baskets. Will make nice gifts next year.“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

Major probs this morning my ancient calculator refused to do minus sums so I had to resort to the old fashioned paper and pencil :mad:
I successfully used the cucumber deo with the sanex so that works out at £1.82 for three items is this correct?
I got the brown mila bands but I seem to have got the wrong toothpaste :mad: Where did I go wrong?
I lost a few pence on fillers but I really needed onions and chips

Afternoon all

Our house is on the market :j
We've already had 2 viewings (I preferred the second people, they were nice
)
Both viewings have been with about an hours notice so it's been manic tidying and vacuuming :rotfl:
I'm hoping there's none for tomorrow, I could do with a peaceful day
Bubbs you moved out yet?

As the offer is profitable would it be possible to 'rebuy' the triggers we already have? I haven't done this and don't know the implications (if any) so please don't go telling me off if it's a REALLY bad idea. I'm just throwing it out there!
An alarm goes off and 6 policemen come and take you to prison for rebuying:eek: it's 2 years in prison sharing a cell with a very nice man:eek::eek::eek:0 -

OMG - calculator probs this morning
Free is fab :j
I also took in this morning 6 packs of !!!!!! size one nappies and a bag of assorted toiletries to put into the food bank trolley to even up the karma

Another nice risky Morrisons comparison. I always get drawn in to doing these shops:o:D. Not too bad - the WW Ocean Pie is 87p in M according to the products included on the big offer labelling in M, but I didn't find any actual evidence of the product itself or any scannable barcode for it in my Ms either.
Best in A is therefore vs T or S for 90p net (both T and S are at £1) at the moment. Not vs W though - they are £1.70:eek:: I assume T is a promotional offer that W therefore doesn't Brand Price Match.
I got nearly half my shopping back (from the APG) - well, about 43%, quite good I suppose (excluding mbuys that give their whole spends back), rounded up to 50%!:rotfl:
The highlighted items are all TCB Snap & Save at the moment. Expecting a total of £1.60 back on that from this shop.
Why £4.25?
